Installation of New Exchange server

If you ever have installed a new Exchange server in an Active Directory orgainisation that allready have an Exchange server (That’s not so often anymore), you may have discovered that users get Certificate warning in Outlook, unto you have changed the URL’s to match the certificates.

But I found this script on Github: https://gist.github.com/kevinblumenfeld/31b03bf439b1f94f460eb754ef74120e

It copy the settings of all IIS url’s to the new Exchange server, when it found it in Active Directory.
So run this script before the start of the installation, and you will not receive the certificate warnings after the installation.

Change autodiscover URL (EWS URL / OAB URL / ECP URL / Activesync URL) – Exchange 2010

If you want to change Autodiscover / EWS / OAB / OWA / ECP / Activesync Url, this is how it works

Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “SERVERNAME\EWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl https://INTERNALURL/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

Set-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory -Identity "SERVERNAME\Autodiscover (Default Web Site)" -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

set-OabVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVERNAME\OAB (Default Web Site)" -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/OAB -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/OAB

set-EcpVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVERNAME\ecp (Default Web Site)" -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/ecp -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/ecp

set-OwaVirtualDirectory -identity "SERVERNAME\owa (Default Web Site)" -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/owa -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/owa

set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory  -identity "SERVERNAME\Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync (Default Web Site)" -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity "SERVERNAME" –AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://INTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Or if this is a single server installation you can do it like this:

get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -InternalUrl https://INTERNALURL/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/EWS/Exchange.asmx -BasicAuthentication:$true

get-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory | Set-AutoDiscoverVirtualDirectory -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

get-OabVirtualDirectory | set-OabVirtualDirectory -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/OAB -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/OAB

get-EcpVirtualDirectory | set-EcpVirtualDirectory -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/ecp -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/ecp

get-OwaVirtualDirectory | set-OwaVirtualDirectory -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/owa -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/owa

get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory  -internalurl https://INTERNALURL/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync -externalurl https://EXTERNALURL/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync

get-ClientAccessServer | Set-ClientAccessServer  –AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri https://INTERNALURL/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
